Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has named a very strong team for tonight's Europa League clash with FC Sion, and the big news is that Jordan Henderson returns to the starting line-up after over three months out through injury.
FULL TEAM: Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Lovren, Smith, Henderson, Milner, Can, Lallana, Firmino, Origi.
SUBS: Bogdan, Randall, Skrtel, Rossiter, Brannagan, Coutinho, Benteke.
* Benteke and Skrtel are rested after Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Newcastle.
* Alberto Moreno didn't travel to Switzerland, so 'exciting' left-back Brad Smith makes his full debut for Liverpool.
* With Hendo - dubiously described as 'world-class' by Michael Owen - Milner, and Can in the team, it looks like Klopp will stick with 4321.
* It seems logical to play Origi up-front, but it's also possible that Firmino may take the striker role, with Origi and Lallana behind him.
* Allen and Lucas also didn't travel, so it seems likely that Emre Can will play the holding role.
* Lallana gets yet another chance to extend his goals/assists drought. That said, Lallana has actually scored in the Europa League this season, so perhaps he'll continue his trend of scoring against comparatively poor teams tonight.
Probable formation:
--------------- Mignolet
Clyne --- Toure ---- Lovren --- Smith
------- Hendo -- Can -- Milner
-------- Lallana -- Origi
-------------- Firmino
OR:
--------------- Mignolet
Clyne --- Toure ---- Lovren --- Smith
------- Hendo -- Can -- Milner
-------- Lallana -- Firmino
-------------- Origi
With a 4231, Origi or Firmino will probably be isolated up-front, especially if the central midfielders are pegged back. I'd prefer to see the following formation:
--------------- Mignolet
Clyne --- Toure ---- Lovren --- Smith
---------- Milner -- Can
----- Lallana - Hendo -- Origi
-------------- Firmino

* Coutinho: £30m-rated. Benteke: Cost £32m. Combined = £62m.
